Chapter 929: The Call from the Divine
Death Swamp, there are many bandits in this area.

As a no-man's land, it has always been a good place to take refuge.

Even these bandits did not dare to go too deep into the Death Swamp and only dared to build fortresses on the outskirts.

They are called bandits, but in fact they are small countries of varying sizes, and they would start armed fights at the village entrance from time to time.

That’s right, it’s at this level, any higher we can’t afford it.

After a brief investigation, Lu Xingshi lost interest and rode the rock dragon beast straight into the depths of the Death Swamp.

"The blood of the Earth Demigod has formed some kind of induction, in bits and pieces."

"This is good news." A smile appeared on Lu Xingshi's face.

He was worried about nothing, which would be a big problem, and Lu Xingshi would probably have to change his path.

Then we really have to start all over again. It is not difficult to recover, but the real difficulty lies in the fact that replacement requires re-study, and many projects have to be scrapped.

"All the fragments of the induction are deep inside. The death is really piecemeal."

"In addition to this, there was also the aura of the divine power of death, which was also shattered into slag."

The rock dragon beast carried Lu Xingshi and directly opened a path. The Death Swamp was indeed as good as its reputation said, but that was only for ordinary people.

For Lu Xingshi, it was not a big problem at all.

Let the rock dragon beast rush forward and create a path even if there is no road.

The threat of the swamp is real, but the rock dragon beast is not a normal life form after all, but an elemental life form, so naturally it has its own special abilities.

Whether it was a desert, a swamp, or a mountain foothill, under the rock dragon beast's feet it felt like walking on flat ground, and it didn't sink at all.

Otherwise, why would someone pay such a high price just to turn this rock dragon beast into a mount and combat partner? It is precisely because it has its own value.

There were no threats on the way, let alone humans. Even animals would have to flee in advance instead of rushing forward when they saw the huge body of the rock dragon beast and the noise it made when walking.

If there really was someone who came to him on purpose, the biggest possibility was that he was trying to divert trouble to someone else.

However, as they went deeper into the Death Swamp, the impact of the shattering of the two divinities of Death and Earth became more and more intense.

The divinity of the earth is better; it is just there where it belongs, without fighting, competing or moving.

However, the divinity of death is different. You can tell from the name that it is not a good thing.

Therefore, there will be some instantly dead creatures in the depths of the Death Swamp. Even if Lu Xingshi encounters them, he will die on the spot.

Now, Edward is probably the only person in the world who can fight against the death influence in the Death Swamp.

However, if Lu Xingshi possessed the divinity of the earth, he could live one or two more minutes.

So after entering, Lu Xingshi became much more cautious. If he was not careful, he might have to open a new account.

"By the way, can the Winter Wolf God resist?" Lu Xingshi thought of this question, and then took out a portion of the divinity of the God of Winter and Ice and Snow, forming a package.

“Divinity is something that is ridiculously strong if it is not in the incarnation. Once it becomes the incarnation of a god, it is basically the same as a mascot.” Lu Xingshi felt that it was just like a person. The wholesale price was only three thousand a month, but if it was sold retail, the price would be an astronomical figure that one might not be able to earn in a lifetime.

But this is normal. The incarnation of divinity is originally the tool of gods. Whether they are strong or not is another matter. As long as they are useful to gods, it is fine.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a ripple appear in the winter wolf divinity that enveloped him and the rock dragon beast.

Then, things quickly returned to normal.

"It can be avoided." Lu Xingshi knew that what had just happened was a kind of instant death triggered by the godhood of death.

"It shouldn't be able to take full effect. It seems that it is because of the divine power in the divinity."

After Lu Xingshi called up the data for comparison, he quickly determined that divinity plus divine power was greater than a single divinity.

As for the saying that death is greater than winter? There is no such saying at all. They are all derivatives of the same priesthood. There may be differences in responsibilities, but they are of equal status at the same level.

High and low, noble and humble are just the rankings that people forcibly give to gods. In fact, for gods, priesthood is just duty, there is no difference.

However, the differences will give rise to different changes.

"This is good news... Oh my god, where can I find the divine power of the God of Earth and Life to replenish it." Lu Xingshi suddenly remembered that he seemed to have no divine power.

Then I would be missing some data.

"I just don't know if the Demigod Earth in me can serve as a substitute."

The fact that the power of the God of Winter and Ice and Snow can be preserved is an unexpected situation, and it is impossible for every god to encounter such a thing.

Especially the God of Earth and Life, his coverage is much wider than that of the God of Winter and Ice and Snow, which means that the pantheon and power he controls are also more powerful.

Equal responsibilities do not mean equal strength, just like soldiers and scientists are both human beings, but that does not mean they both have equal combat effectiveness.

As they moved forward, Lu Xingshi suddenly stopped the rock dragon beast under his control. Just now, something tried to invade his mind.

But it was very weak, like a half-dead person.

So it was easily blocked by Lu Xingshi. After carefully deciphering it, it turned out to be a weak voice.

"Descendant of the Lanton family, I sense your blood."

Lu Xingshi’s first thought was that the Earth Dragon had shattered into pieces, so how could it still have consciousness?
The Immortal Dragon chose to preserve part of its life and become the Dragon of Life, most likely because it could recover better by using life as a carrier.

This means that parts of the earth may not have any conscious existence and are simply fragments of divinity.

However, now the other party contacted Lu Xingshi.

"Leaving aside the issue of the other party's consciousness, it seems that the sensing part is two-way."

"Not only can I sense the other person, but the other person can also sense me."

Then, Lu Xingshi immediately recovered through the transmitted waves.

"Are you the Earth Dragon?" Lu Xingshi's question sounded silly, but it was actually a test for the other party.

If the living side can give birth to consciousness, then why can't the dead side? It's not like he hasn't seen creatures like the undead.

So theoretically, if a part of Death becomes a Dragon of Death like a Dragon of Life and swallows up a part of the Earth, it is possible to be successfully revived.

It’s just that because the two divinities of earth and death were broken too badly, they can only survive and cannot fully recover.

"Yes, I am the earth divinity of the immortal dragon. You, the Lanton family, have the earth authority and blood of the god of earth and life flowing in your body, so I can connect with you." The voice's reply gradually became clear.

It seemed that because someone finally came, all the fragments of the earth's divinity were activated.

"You came just in time. If you had come seventy years later, I would have completely disappeared."

"So I need your help, descendant of the Langton family." The other party stated his request in a very calm tone.

"Then what benefits do I get?" Lu Xingshi directly mentioned the benefits.

What else? It would be like working for the other party in vain.

"I can protect your family for a hundred years as a reward."

To be honest, these conditions are really stingy. Compared with the Dragon of Life, they are really not good enough.

Look at the Dragon of Life. Edward can help him recover, so he just acts as his grandfather and gives him a golden finger.

But you only have a hundred years.

After all, it's a life-saving favor, so I can just protect him until the Landon family is destroyed.

Not to mention that the Landon family has an inexplicable connection with the god of earth and life, and with this life-saving grace, they can be said to be one of our own.

"What do I need to do to help you?" Lu Xingshi did not agree with the other party, but asked directly what to do.

He instinctively felt that there was something wrong, so he thought about recovering the other party first and then taking him away as a test subject.

Don't talk about repaying a favor, just think of it as Lu Xingshi finding materials for yourself. There is no gratitude, and it will save you trouble later.

"It's very simple. Just help me collect all the fragments of divinity." The other party spoke again.

This matter is indeed very simple for Lu Xingshi.

"Okay, I can gather the divinity of the earth for you in three days at most." Lu Xingshi agreed directly.

"Not only the divinity of the earth, but also the divinity of death." The other party quickly corrected him: "Because of the battle at the beginning, the fragments of the two divinities of earth and death were entangled together."

'You must gather the two fragments of divinity, and then I will separate them from the entanglement, so that I can recover completely.'

Hearing this, Lu Xingshi's eyes narrowed involuntarily. Just these three sentences exposed the other party's problems at once.

Entanglement is real, but separation is probably false.

"Okay, I will collect them all." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.

He didn't want to guess what the other party was up to, he just wanted the divinity of the earth.

If the other party is unable to separate, Lu Xingshi will separate for them.

The divinity of death is not a necessity for him. It can be used for research and collection. It would be best if he could get it, but it would not be a loss if he could not get it.

"Collect them all as soon as possible. The longer it takes, the weaker my strength will be, and the longer it will take to recover," the other party urged.

"It's been so many years anyway, you don't mind taking this little extra time, why are you in such a hurry?" Lu Xingshi retorted.

The reason why the other party urged him was not because of urgency or time issues, but because he was afraid that Lu Xingshi would react, so he found such an excuse.

It had said before that it would protect the Landon family for a hundred years. How could it protect them if it didn't have enough power?

So this reason was used in order to align the interests of Lu Xingshi.

But Lu Xingshi was not fooled at all. After all, he really didn't need the other party to protect the Landon family. There was no benefit, so why would he be fooled?
